For those of you who know your history, January 13, the day the ladies were all expelled also happens to the be the 102 anniversary of the day Delta Sigma Theta was founded. Perhaps DST didn’t inform the ladies of their expulsion until sometime in the evening because several of the members posted statuses, videos and pictures celebrating their founder’s day.

The ladies have yet to speak publicly about their expulsion…and judging from the guidelines outlined above, legally, they may not be able to.

Am I the only one that feels the expulsion was a bit harsh…when there have been other members who’ve done far worse? I can’t help but see this as women being punished for nothing more than being argumentative and perhaps catty on television. And it’s particularly odd considering during the season finale all of the women put ego and attitude aside to come together to do something good for the community. To me, that’s just life. Getting over our differences, egos and flaws for the greater good. There are some people who never manage that. But these women did. How does that warrant expulsion? Personally, I don’t get it. You don’t have to be Greek to understand sisterhood. And expelling instead of instructing, correcting or privately scolding would have been more sisterly than publicly ousting members. But that’s just my opinion. What do you think about the expulsion? Do you think it’s fair or too much?
